Surely it's like everything else? There's good and bad hosting companies. The bad are those who put too many sites on a single hosting computer, don't configure things properly, and have techs who don't understand the ins&outs of their systems and don't care and won't dig into problems people have. Probably a fair number of the cheapest web hosts are like this.
Then there will also be a smaller number of good companies - those who fully understand their systems and maintain them properly... but charge accordingly.
